Thread: Architect Most Boring Profession?
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=architect&message.id=81472
Catman,
Yeah in general for our stuff either quality doesn't matter or its easy to max quality. A lot of our game is about resource management since quantity is more of a challenge for us than quality.
Have you made some high quality crafting stations? Thats one item that it can be a challenge to max out the stats and they often have good demand. If you have a DE then you would be well setup to do so. You need a master artisan too.

What do you mean don't be a stranger?? Your the one hopping servers. ![]()
I was thinking of using my respec on Lynae and picking up more of the BE, but then again, I'm not sure I want to mess with gathering so many resources. Sassi' is taking over Merchant, if I can get those blasted boxes to fill up faster. So was toying with the idea of Architect as well on Lynae. I dunno.

Having played my m8s character a bit more; I'd have to agree with that
Best of luck to you all
I've been an architect for about two years and I will never give it up. In fact, it is my main character of a few accounts. What do I like about it? Every crafter in the game eventually has to talk to an arch for harvesters and factories. Most everyone wants/needs a house. I like running a business (and it is my Role Play vehicle as well). I like being at the front end of the value chain (harvesting). I mostly deal in houses and furniture (and not even doing the decorating as a service) and I make a nice amount. I'm not filthy rich like some crafters, but I make a good amount, enough for me to run everything and have enough left over to do what I want. People ask me why I keep doing it. I like it. I like filling orders for stuff people really want. I stay pretty busy doing it too. My business has it's ups and downs, most of my work is for custom orders that come and go, being at the right starport at the right time has paid off a few times too!
In short, architects are needed by most other characters, I find it an interesting business, and it pays the bills.
Cheers
Yes it is boring. BUT, I am one. I enjoy making houses and now recently decorating on the side. It is easier money, and with furniture and houses... i dont need 10-20-30 cpu resources. Just cheap grind stuff, or that which I mine myself. Along with everything you listed as possible ways to improve arch... we are hoping that one day all of that will be implemented.
One day......... ![]()
Social aspect is great, I have met more people and made more friends playing an Archy then other profs.
But a really cool part, is when you fly into a shuttle port of a town and realize, I Made That! That Medcenter, its mine. Oh sure, someone else is using it, and paid for it, but it is still mine. Until that City falls apart, or the game is shutdown, you know you made something that is used by hundreds of players, and you actually have a great impact on the game.
Also, the various Cities may have statues, and light poles, etc., but examine them, and see who made them. Our names will remain in the game and remembered long after those who gathered Krayt tissues or made that uber armor that will eventually decay into nothing.
Ya, it's part ego trip, but what other game out there allows a player to have such a major, although low profile, impact on the game?
All in all, I think the coolest prof. I started mine as an Alt account a year ago yesterday, and now everyone things its my main LOL, I play it alot more then my 20 month old combat toon.
